Iceotope has developed a liquid cooling
system for IT equipment that eliminates the
need for inefficient air conditioning units
and fans.

The Triple Bottom Line

Environmental
Widespread adoption of the Iceotope solution in the industry could ultimately prevent
the release of millions of tons of CO2 into
the atmosphere.

SOCIAL
Icotope’s cooling technology can be applied anywhere in the world, regardless of
humidity and temperature.

Instead of cooling electronics with inefficient fans, which are used in
almost every data center on the planet, Iceotope submerges IT equipment in an inert coolant liquid, which cuts cooling energy costs up
to 97%, according to the company. The solution also provides opportunities for the surplus heat to be recycled in the form of hot water,
which can be fed into domestic radiators to reduce heating bills.
As testament to the system’s environmental performance, it can
enable high-density IT facilities in desert regions to operate as efficiently as those based in the Arctic Circle. Unlike most data centers,
Iceotope’s system does not rely on clean water.
Why a Sustainia100 solution?
The digital economy is estimated to account for a massive 10% of global electricity
use, according to a report by the Digital Power Group. Given today’s spiraling data
consumption levels and growing reliance on IT, this technology addresses one of the
biggest global energy challenges.

Economic
As well as lowering energy bills, this technology also cuts IT infrastructure costs by
50%, and is a viable economic solution for
even the largest IT providers, according to
the company.
